Getting really tired being told I have to choose between the Borg and the Daleks.
Yes Schumer should rule his caucus with an iron fist and senators such as Kaine who represent a lion’s share of federal workers should just eat it when it comes to representing them.
You think we're stupid? You greenlit this deal. If you couldn't stop Dems from breaking away, then you don't deserve to be the leader.
I will not support the Republican bill that’s on the Senate floor because it fails to do anything of substance to fix America’s healthcare crisis.

As I understand it the folks who are supporting this have very plausible reasons to do so bc of their constituents or are just generally inclined in the first place to never support a shutdown. The thing about hanging it all on Schumer is it’s just immature.
The thing about the "I voted against this" position Schumer is taking is that either he is trying to mislead Dem voters by implying he didn't support reopening right now, or he has no control over his caucus.

No one was saying everything was fine. Harris literally campaigned on ‘he will send the military after Americans.’ The problem is the inability and outright refusal to coalesce around Dems for reasons that really have little to no basis.
We are headed toward martial law and the end of our democracy and I will never forgive the people in power who every step of the way told us it was all just fine and everything would work out swell as long as we kept pretending that nothing we have actually seen with our own two eyes was happening

Folks arriving from the GOP to vote Dem for the first time in their lives aren’t the type to be enamored with this kind of immaturity. We have guests coming, but I’d never expect this crowd to be respectful.

Yeah, we have a problem with the political incarnation of domestic abuse in our coalition. There is a vocal crowd that takes their frustration with the GOP and the world and comes home to dump it all on Dems. They want Schumer and Buttigieg’s heads on pikes just as normies are arriving from the GOP.
While I don’t ride or die for Pete Buttigieg, the vitriol directed at him is completely insane.
“When I was younger I wished that I could have taken a pill to turn me straight; but I have accepted and embraced my identity now” is an *extremely* common sentiment from Millennial and older gay people!

Anyhoo, I’ve absolutely been sucked into this (as was entirely intended I’m sure) but the bottom line remains Dems still have the midterms. The debate isn’t about stopping whatever destruction Trump wants, that’s almost foolish. It’s about holding these voters beyond the midterms and next prez race.

More domestic abuse from the ‘moral high ground.’ The only scenario that is politically good under which Schumer leaves is by his own accord for non-political reasons.

Call your senator and demand that the Democratic Senators caucus and remove Chuck Schumer from a leadership position. This is the second time he has been unable to control the Democratic party to vote in a block and has betrayed the American people.

As people begin to finally flock over to Dems from the GOP I just don’t think Schumer’s head on a pike as they enter our courtyard will be seen as welcoming or heartwarming, and they would simply end up deciding they are only here for now bc they have to be and leave again the first chance they get.

Rather than the ‘radical’ position that most American socialists imagine they are taking, it strikes me as really a very privileged ‘let’s just by a new house’ position. Massive progress has been made under the US constitution without ‘socialism’ so I don’t see the real argument here.
you cannot create a viable third party without changing the constitution.
to change the constitution, you need control of one of the major political parties, at minimum.
anyone refusing to accept this is a fucking child i'm tired of entertaining.

As voters that have been lifelong GOP start to actually flip to voting Dems (as evidenced by hyper local election results that flipped even sheriff offices that have never been held by a Dem), they are not going to be big fans of this ‘let’s just buy a new house’ upper mid-class suburban mentality.

The constant attempt to frame every battle as representing the entire war was never going to pan out for anyone outside the bubble. I try to stay informed and can barely grasp all the nuance myself. People are going to vote based on personal experience bc everything else is beyond reach.
Heard Sen. Cortez Masto on NPR defending her vote to end the shutdown by saying that with the government reopening, she and her colleagues can now get back to tackling "affordability."

If people can’t get home or wherever they are going in time for Christmas Eve, they will surely be looking for someone to blame. A sweetheart deal that the GOP immediately reneges on or may even still turn down will put that blame squarely on the GOP.
Dude, use your eyes.
Either he was involved in orchestrating the Surrender Caucus' deal, which Sen. Shaheen has confirmed was in constant communication w/Schumer, or he's an utterly useless leader who can't even get his own whip, nevermind one fifth of his caucus, to stick to the plan.

I think what the ‘left’ fails to grasp is that the 1a has created an environment where a lot of people do not engage in ‘you can’t say that’ debates. The cultural norm has become to ‘not give them any oxygen.’ Or conversely, let them say it even more and give them a spotlight while they do it.

Meanwhile, Trump isn’t going to honor a deal on anything. Trump is going to go on pretending the shutdown continues even if they pass a deal. There isn’t much leverage here for Dems to change his outlook in a substantive manner.

Yes, the people enraged are indeed Americans. The phrasing here tries to suggest that is a large number. It isn’t. The last shutdown drama had even FB normies posting crash out drivel. Hardly anyone is commenting about this.
Americans are enraged, and they want fighters: an opposition party that communicates that they share and understand that rage. The Senate Democrats showed Sunday that they still don’t get that, and it’s not clear that some of them ever will. trib.al/mZfi6Qw

Offering the GOP a sweetheart deal which they immediately renege on or might possibly still refuse isn’t the ‘big cave’ everyone thinks it is. It’s saying ‘take as much rope as you like.’
Hey Dick, even if Thune keeps his word that doesn't get you anywhere
Whoa -- Sen. Durbin went to up Leader Thune during the vote last night to tell him that on the shutdown vote and ACA promise that "8 of us are sticking our neck out that you're going to keep your word. I hope you will. He said 'I assure you I will,'" Durbin says just now

I think reopening is the right move, even with a bad deal. It’s clear the electorate is making up its mind against Trump, let’s not give them an excuse to see Dems as willing to play politics with people’s lives as well. I think we should be looking at a long term strategy that sets Dems apart.
Just a reminder...
8 Senators voted to cave on the Shutdown.
But the Shutdown is not over, and won't be until the House votes.
So keep calling.
Call the 8 Senators and let them know you're pissed.
Call your Senators, and let them know you stand with them.
Call your House Members.

There are valid debates to be had. Reopening the government or not isn’t the end of the world either way. The GOP remains on the ropes. Personally I don’t think chaos at the airports over the holidays would be widely seen as brilliant brinksmanship, voters would be looking to punish Dems eventually.
